Causes of the Afiiction and Remedies for
 Restoring Vigor to the Scalp.

| Causes of the Ahiiction and Remedies for Restoring Vigor to the Scalp.
 There may be every degree in the falling out of the hair, from mere thinness to incurable badness. So, too, the badness may be partial, or total Sometimes it is confined to one or more circular areas of limited dimen- sions. The hair somewhat resembles a plant. As the vegetable thrives, or is stunted, or fails partially or wholly, according to the character of the soil, so does the hair The skin is the soil by which its roots are nourished; and it's condition determining the degree of vigor of the hair To healthy con- dition two things are essentials; a free flow of good blood to the roots, and the normal action of the nerves that regulate the action of the minute arteries which convey the blood. The blood itself may be cor rupt, as in badness due to certain chronic diseases; or there may be a partial paralysis of the nerves, as in the case of badness confined to small circular areas. There is badness another which results from blow on the head. In both these cases the nerves are at fault. Age doubtless acts directly on the vessels, shrinking them, and indirectly on the nerves, lessening their vigor. In incurable badness the roots are atrophied, is the medical term-through failure of nourishment.
 When the hair has simply become thin, or limited. badness has continued only short time, what is needed is to restore the falling vigor of the skin; that is, of the nerves and arteries that nourish it. Says that chief authority, Sir Erasmus Wilson: "For defect of growth in length, as also in quantity, we must have recourse to tonic, or stimulant remedies. Tonics improve the nutritive power of the skin; and stimulants for exernal ap- plication arouses the energies of the tissues of the skin, more especially those of the vessels and nerves. The usual stimulants adopted for this pur- pose are ammonia, cantharides (Span- ish iiy), mustard, the various stimulat- ing liniments and acetic acid" He, however, condemns the use of strong stmulants, as tending to infame the scalp, and recommends the following mixture as safe: Strong liquor of ann monia, almond oil, and chloroform, each one part; alcohol, five parts; oil of lemons, one drachm. Apply it ire quently and freely, after thorough fric- ton with a hair-brush. - Youths Cona- Ddnion

MILITARY PRESSURE.
The Tremendous Political Influence Exer
 cised by the Armies of Europe.

The Tremendous Political Influence Exer-
 cised by the Armies of Europe.
 The pressure of the army staffs of Europe toward war is an element in the situation of which too little ac- count is taken. The civil power is here so completely supreme that the opinion of the army counts for little, even in foreign politics, and in home politics does not count at all. Upon the Con- tinent, however, the Governments. even when, as in France, they are nominally civil, rest ultimately upon vast armies, whose chiefs are as potent in affairs, especially in foreign affairs, as leading statesmen. The Rus sian and Austrian Emperors look to the army as the mainstay of their pOwer-there are men who say there is no true Austria except the Imperial army-and would regard any widespread discontent among their off cers or any contempt for their action felt within the barracks as grave calamities.' Even when not soldiers themselves-and they are both soldiers -thOse two sOvereigns listen to their Generals with deep attention; and when told that great military opportu- mites are passing away, or that grave military dangers may arise from delay, are as much influenced as an English Minister is when he perceives that his party is eager for a special course of action. They court, in fact, their most effective supporters. In France the Government is at times actually afraid of the army; which if irritated can overset it; and though that fear is not felt in Germany, where loyalty is a military passion, any ''loss of heart" among officers is sincerely dreaded. That is "a loss of the impulse which makes q disci pline tolerable, induces all classes to serve. and helps in the hour of danger to insure the sacrifices which can alone produce victory. An army which believes in its chiefs capacities is different instrument from an army which doubts them, and an indefinitely stronger one. If, therefore, the great group of picked and scientific soldier: who form the army staff of Germany report as their deliberate judgment that 'the retention of Metz will in the next war save 100, 900 men," or that the delay of a year will add five per cent. to the mobility of the French army, the German Court, including Prince Bismarck, are compelled tc listen with grave attention.-SPectatorl

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
SEVEN YEARS.

Seven summer suns have brightly shone | Since first you saw the light of day; | Seven winter snows have come and gone | Since first in loving arms you lay A fathers pride mothers joy. A darling little baby boy. | The little dainty robes of white
 Have long ago been laid away; The little l1ilts of plaid so bright
 Are worn by you no more today; In trousers, every true boys pride, You now affect manly stride. Our baby boy with dimpled hands, With stalwart limbs and sturdy lungs, Who talked and told us all his plans With ablest of all baby-tongues-
 Has he been stolen, lost or sold? Why, bless mel he is seven years old. We well recall his baby bow,
 The kiss he threw we bring to mind; He dofTs his hat to ladies now,
 For he is both polite and kind.
 The baby boy we erstwhile had
 Is now gentlemanly lad. With other lads he goes to school,
 He reads his book, he joins in games; Knows the result of many a rule,
 Knows many scientific names;
 This laddie, still pride and joy,
 No longer is baby boy. 'Tis said that every seven years
 Brings change complete to every one; A change that manifest appears In all who dwell beneath the sun.
 That you are changed who will not say?
 You who are seven years old to-day. When seven more years shall pass away Another change will then appear; Xnrnf11 feaO HNor- rr.rl,o fs,1 And to our hearts be just as dear.
 Perhaps you'll wear long trousers then
 And short coats like your cousin Ben. Your longer legs will want to stride A big bicycle by that time; A live horse then you'll want to ride, Aud up steep mountain-sides you'll climb.
 Perhaps you'll join the Knockabout
 And taste the joys of camping out. You'll want rod to fish for trout. For Cousin Ben says 'tis such fun;" And-mercy on us!-Tve no doubt But by that time you'll want gun;
 And shall be beset by fear,
 Lest you should shoot yourself, my dear. You'll play base ball. and tennis, too, With other big boys on the lawn. And many other things you'll do, When seven other years are gone.
 This seven gone and seven more,
 Our boy will stand at manhood's door. An, little lad, we all can guess
 What boys will do, both great and small; But boyhood passed, I must confess can not prophecy at all;
 Although sometimes halfway plan
 What you will do when you're man. What cause will claim your hand and voicei The world affords so wide range! 'Twere idle to foretell your choice, For hopes and aspirations change
 The last fond hope you have expressed
 Is for ranch somewhere Out West. Whatever work may come to claim Your hand, your head, and loving heart Whatever be your name or fame, l pray you may act well your part
 Be faithful, honest, earnest, too,
 And grace whatever work you do. May Heaven grant all these years to you, To crown boyhood pure and sweet; May all your life be good and true, A blessing unto all you meet.
 And blessings rest upon your head
 When ten times seven years have fled

SAVED BY A SONG.

| What a Knowing Little Bullfinch Did for
 His Mistress Who Had Been Kind to | Him.
 In far-away Tyrolese valley lived little Elsa, in log chalet, alone with her old grandfather. Browning preci- pices encircled the narrow strip of mead ow that bordered the rushing stream flowing from the giants of snow and rock towering into the sky all around. But old Franz was getting old, and , Elsa had to help him to till the little ! plots of Indian corn and millet round i the chalet, and when the sheaves were ripe, to hang them up to dry upon wooden slaves with branching arms, which made the fields look as il peopled with scarecrows. She had to i drive the cows to the upland pastures, and to make the cheeses which, every week, old Franz carried in basket on his back down the valley, to sell at the nearest village. But when her work was over, she would have been very dull in the evenings. while her grand sather sat and dozed in his armchair, but for the companionship of her pet bullfnch, with his glossy head and back, and his brick-dust-cOlored waist coat.
 The grandfather had brought him bach as present to Elsa, when he was quite a young bird, and the latter $ kindness soon tanned him so that he would eat out of her hand. Then his education began; and on long win ter evenings, when the wind roared through the forest and the river ragged past the hut, old Franz would pull out his clarionet, and by the light of the wood fire teach Bullie to pipe.
 After much time and patience had been expended on him, one day, to his little mistress delight, he whistled through the Austrian National Hymn: ''God save Franz the Emperor" with out mistake.
 Elsa was never dull now, for there was always some new tune to be taught Bullie, and she and the bird became inseparable. And thus, when one Sunday morning, early, she and her grandfather, both of them dressed in their best, started over the mountain to the feast at Imst, she tied up Bullie' $ cage in handkerchief, and took him with her.
 The streets of Inst were crowded with peasants in holiday dress pro ceeding to the outdoor stage, where was performed the annual religious play. The roof was the blue sky, the background the snow peaks; and Els a sat and listened, open-mouthed, to the quaint mixture of Old Testament story and ancient legend.
 Dinner followed at Frau Luia's, a cousins; after which Bullie hopped out of the cage and went through his performances. His shill notes rang out into the street, and Melchior, the peddlar came, and taking him on his finger, listened critically. MelchOir dealt in every sort of ware, and was 8

ECONOMY IN WORDS.
A Plan to Shorten Up the System of
 Printing the English Language.

A Plan to Shorten Up the System of Printing the English Language. Why not shorten up our whole sys- tenn of printing English by leaving out the unn ecessary words? If any one will take the trouble to glance over a page of any book in our language he will find that just about half the words might have been omitted without injury to the sense. Would it not even bring the visible language more nearly to the shape of the ideas as actually succeed ing each other in the mind? "Oh. John" for example). ''go thou and catch for me the horse of the grand mother of the baker in a hurry" In case of the actual occurrence, would the mind consciously grip more than "-John- catoh-horse-grandmother- baker hurry?" If so, why not print it thus abbreviated, when we come to reduce it to book-speechP Suppose we try the experiment on passage chosen (pret- ty much at random) from the twenty eighth chapter of David Copperfield. I put a dash wherever one or more words are omitted:
 "- between ten - eleven - Mrs. Micawber rose replace - cap - whity-brown - parcel, and - put on - bonnet" (Of course, it would not be ''ten" and ''eleven" of any thing but the clock; and naturally Mrs. M. would not be putting away any body else's cap than her own, or in any whity-brown parcel except a paper one; nor would she, when once you know that only Mir.

great traveller, knowing every village and valley in the district, and some- times even going as far as Innsbruck or Munich.
 That's a fine bird of yours, Father Franz! I don't mind giving you ten forms for him! What do you say?"
 Poor Elsa gave little cry of dismay. but was relieved to hear her grand father reply:
 Gold won't buy him. friend Mel choir, thank you. He's my little maiden's pet ."
 After dinner the three made the round of the fair; they watched the peasants riie-shooting at targets. dancing under the trees, and singing songs to the ''xither," with wild 'joddling" choruses, and only late regained their valley home.
 A few weeks later winter set in, with unusual violence of storm and rain, and brought dire misfortune to Elsa. Her grandfather was con fined to bed with rheumatism. and the river rising suddenly in the night and flooding the valley, carried of their crops, and drowned the two cows, their chief support. The damp and anxiety made the old man so i'll, that Elsa be- came quite anxious. Their food and their money were exhausted, and there was no more milk to make cheeses for sale.
 Elsa was at her wits end what to do. when cheery pipe from Bullie re- minded her of Melchior's words. If she sold the bird, she could procure medicine and food for her grandfather. But it was bitter wrench, and the tears rolled down her cheeks, and wetted Bullie's glossy coat, as. taking him from his cage, she pressed him to her lips for last kiss.
 Then she told her grandfather she was off to Inst to buy provisions.
 There was lull in the storm, but the mountains were swathed in a cot ton-wool-like fog. as the brave little maiden ascended the winding path.
 The moisture chilled her to the bone. and the white world around her fright ened her by its silence. But on she went, and the fog closed stealthily round, and gradually hid the path and every landmark from her sight. Strug- glng on in terror, rift in the midst showed her she was utterly lost, and on the brink of a ayawning precipice. Over come with fatigue and fear. Elsa sank to the ground, hiding Bullie's cage under her cloak, and gave herself up for lost. The cold fog wrapped her in its chilly embrace, and death-like torpor gradually stole over her.
 It was nearly nightfall when two wOOd-cutters, sent by her anxious grandfather to search for her, came groping their way through the fog. fearing the worst for her. Suddenly. the awful stiffness, familiar sound struck on their ears, and the shrill notes of the Emperor's Hymn came ringing through the gloom. It was Bullie piping away cheerily from beneath the warm shelter of his poor little mistress, whom they found lying unconscious in most perilous spot.
 Thus had the lite bird saved Elsa's lifel
 The wood-cutters carried her down to Imst to Frau Lula, to whose care the old grandfather, too, was presently re- moved. And I need not say that none ever dreamt aUain of selling the bull E. CutheH. in Little Folks.
